Nestled in desirable Cayuga Heights, walking distance from the elementary school, Gimme Coffee, Island Fitness, and the Cornell bus, is a mid-century home custom-built by Frank Hanshaw. The current owner has made many updates, including installation of a lower-level walkout apartment, perfect for in-laws, guests, potential rental income, or easily incorporated into the main house. Mature vegetation and a privacy fence provide screening from the street, with a secluded stone patio entered through sliding glass doors from a bright and airy sunroom. The efficient galley kitchen connects seamlessly to the dining and living areas, where a cozy gas fireplace and cherry paneling create a warm, inviting atmosphere. On the same floor are three bedrooms, including a walk-in closet and two full bathrooms. Central air provides summer comfort and efficient forced air heating provides warmth in winter. Genuine redwood siding, hardwood floors, abundant built-in shelving, and solid cherry bathroom cabinets are among the quality features. The lower level apartment has an open concept kitchen, a living area with its own fireplace, a well-sized bedroom, an office/den, and a full bathroom. Two utility rooms provide extra storage, laundry, and workshop space. Additional highlights include a 2-car attached garage offering ample storage, an extra parking space, and a fenced-in backyard ideal for dog owners. Whether you are seeking multi-generational living, investment potential, or simply a home with space to grow, this property checks all the boxes.
